Gardening During Wartime

The Vegetable Museum ‘t Grom in Sint-Katelijne-Waver brings history to life with a war garden. The museum tells the stories of ordinary people and their daily struggle for survival. It gives an account of hunger and scarcity, but also of the resilience and creativity of locals during wartime. Many of the vegetables cultivated and eaten at that time are no longer well-known, and are called “forgotten vegetables” nowadays.
